Shredded Chicken

We make this on a weekly basis.  Oh so yummy, oh so easy, and oh so versatile.  I got this recipe from a spicy chicken soup recipe, and it's been a family favorite ever since.

• 2 quarts water (8 cups)

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves - the meat can still be frozen!  Ah!  Not having to defrost meat!

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp ground black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 2 TBS dried parsley

• 1 TBS onion powder

• 5 cubes chicken bouillon (5 tsp)

In large pot over low heat, combine water and seasonings.  Place chicken in pot and boil over low heat for 1-1 1/2 hours.  Remove chicken and shred.  (Awesome tip from my sister-in, to shred, use a mixer instead of forks.  Shreds the chicken in like a quarter of the time!) 

Chicken TacosAdd about 1/3 cup salsa, a few tsp of taco seasoning, and a few tsp of the chicken broth.  Top it in a tortilla with lettuce, tomato, onion, jalepenos, and sour cream, and you've got a yummy dinner with minimal effort.
